System (EAS). Introduction These procedures were prepared with the help of the South Dakota Office of Emergency Management, National Weather Service, South Dakota Association of Broadcasters, State Cable systems, and state and local officials of the State of South Dakota. This plan provides the necessary means and operating procedures for designated state and federal officials to issue emergency information and warning to the general public of South Dakota. Because of the existing commercial and public broadcast coverage South Dakota viewers and listeners will be able to receive emergency information in a timely and concise manner. Acceptance of or participation in this plan shall not be deemed to prohibit a licensee of cable operator from exercising their independent discretion and responsibility in any given situation.

  • Sturgis Elementary School Parking Lot Concern
    Sturgis Elementary School Meade School District 46-1 “To Build Knowledge and Skills for Success Today and Tomorrow A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL CHANTAL LIGTENBERG Supervision on Playground I have noticed some students being dropped earlier than we have supervisors. Just a reminder that the supervisors are not on the playground until 7:45 a.m. Breakfast students can be dropped off as early as 7:30 a.m. at the cafeteria doors. Inclement Weather/School Closings On mornings when school is cancelled or a late start occurs, every attempt will be made to notify the following radio and television stations by 6-6:30 a.m.: radio stations BHB, KOTA, KAT, FOX, KIMM, KKMK, KKLS, KRCS, KSQY, KIQK, KTOQ, KDDX, KZZI, KDSJ, and television stations KOTA, KEVN, KNBN, and KELO. In addition to the announcements on select radio and television stations, parents will also be notified by telephone via School Messenger (previously known as School Reach) in the event of school closing or early dismissal. School Messenger messages will come from the district level. Please let the school office know if you have changed phone numbers recently so we may make those updates in our system. School Attendance Attending school might not be a big deal for you now, but the consequences can have a lasting impact on you. Check out the attendance facts from our friends at Attendance Works. • Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school.
